A TOS reminder :)

Hello everybody! Happy Tuesday!
It has been a while since a TOS reminder has been up, so I thought I would create a fresh new one in hopes people will read it.
Please observe that Profanity, Personal Attacks/Threats, Insults, Spamming/Advertising, Irrelevant Discussion, Vulgarity, Invasion of Privacy, Impersonating another, etc, are considered violations of the Terms of Service (TOS). The following are explanations of each:
Profanity/Vulgarity: Do not mask curse words with symbols in order to use them, and do not out-right use curse and/or sexual language on the board. Honestly, there is no reason for it, and we all should be able to express ourselves without resorting to using it.
Personal Attacks/Insults: Please do not be personally insulting/threatening to other members on the board. This includes calling other posters negative names (even if you are not posting to that member at the time you are speaking ill of the person), poking fun at their language mistakes, making fun of their intelligence, using their age to insult them, be racially/religiously offensive, and just all around personally dissing another poster.
Spamming/Advertising: Please do not litter the board or IVillage with the same post over and over again, advertise another website or group outside of the IVillage Community, ask for people to send money, etc.
Irrelevant Discussion: It is ok to go off topic once in a while on threads (heck, I am so guilty of that!), and it is completely understandable, but please do not start an entire discussion or post talking about unfairness of IVillage or board members, etc. Yes, this is a debate board, but it is not a personality debate board, nor is it a board for whining about deleted posts or lack thereof.
Invasion of Privacy: Do not ask or give out personal information such as home/work addresses, phone numbers, SS numbers, license numbers, etc. This is for your personal safety.
Impersonating another: Do not post here pretending to be another person other than yourself, and please refrain from using a name that is inappropriate (meaning do not try to mask/use a crude innuendo for a member name).
Remember: IVillage reserves the right to suspend and/or revoke your membership if you are found to be in breach of the TOS. If you have been repeatedly warned either on the board or through e-mail that you are not following the rules of the board, do not be surprised if you get banned because of your behavior. For more information on the TOS, please see this link:

Thank you all so very much for your cooperation, understanding, and help in making this board a fun and popular place to debate politics!
